One Less
Unified Theory Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Satisified and otherwise tired of the options
Like seldom have the strength to see and

They never take serious enough
Serious enough

One less away from everything that's grounded me
I am
One less away from half the world surrounding me
My life

Nothing more and over done
Over looked and yesterday everything was making sense
Hear me out my love
Hear me out my love
One less away from everything that's grounded me
I am
One less away from half the world surrounding me
My life





Hear me out my love
Hear me out I love

Overall Meaning

Interpretation: The lyrics of Unified Theory’s song ‘One Less’ seem to describe someone who is experiencing a sense of disillusionment with the world around them. The singer is exhausted by the limitations and inadequacies of the options available to them, and feels that these options are never taken seriously enough. Furthermore, they feel like they are ‘one less away’ from losing everything that grounds them and defines their sense of self. The repeated refrain ‘Hear me out my love’ suggests that the singer is reaching out to someone for support, perhaps a lover or a friend, as they grapple with these feelings of disillusionment and vulnerability.


The lines ‘Nothing more and over done / Over looked and yesterday everything was making sense’ are particularly poignant, as they convey the sense of confusion and loss that the singer is feeling. They seem to suggest that the singer was once secure and confident in their choices, but now feels lost and uncertain. Overall, the song reflects a sense of existential malaise and a desire for connection and support.
